||||||
| 1 | $52,800 | $162,000 | $111,000 | $259,000 | ||||||
| 2 | 52,800 | 162,000 | 84,000 | 219,000 | ||||||
| 3 | 52,800 | 162,000 | 42,000 | 154,000 | ||||||
| 4 | 52,800 | 162,000 | 18,000 | 105,000 | ||||||

| Total | $264,000 | $810,000 | $264,000 | $810,000 | ||||||
Each project requires an investment of $480,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used, and no residual value is expected. The committee has selected a rate of 15% for purposes of the net present value analysis.
| Present Value of $1 at Compound Interest | |||||
| Year | 6% | 10% | 12% | 15% | 20% |
| 1 | 0.943 | 0.909 | 0.893 | 0.870 | 0.833 |
| 2 | 0.890 | 0.826 | 0.797 | 0.756 | 0.694 |
| 3 | 0.840 | 0.751 | 0.712 | 0.658 | 0.579 |
| 4 | 0.792 | 0.683 | 0.636 | 0.572 | 0.482 |
| 5 | 0.747 | 0.621 | 0.567 | 0.497 | 0.402 |
| 6 | 0.705 | 0.564 | 0.507 | 0.432 | 0.335 |
| 7 | 0.665 | 0.513 | 0.452 | 0.376 | 0.279 |
| 8 | 0.627 | 0.467 | 0.404 | 0.327 | 0.233 |
| 9 | 0.592 | 0.424 | 0.361 | 0.284 | 0.194 |
| 10 | 0.558 | 0.386 | 0.322 | 0.247 | 0.162 |
Required:
1a. Compute the average rate of return for each investment. If required, round your answer to one decimal place.
| Average Rate of Return | |
| Warehouse | % |
| Tracking Technology | % |
1b. Compute the net present value for each investment. Use the present value of $1 table above. If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value.
| Warehouse | Tracking Technology | |
| Present value of net cash flow total | $ | $ |
| Less amount to be invested | $ | $ |
| Net present value | $ | $ |
2. The warehouse has a Select: larger OR smaller net present value because Select: largerOR smaller cash flows occur earlier in time compared to the tracking technology. Thus, if only one of the two projects can be accepted, the Select:tracking technology OR warehouse would be the more attractive.
